Until proven otherwise, our boys acted in the way they were trained and did exactly what they should have done. Sad that this guy died, but they should not have tried to run the checkpoint.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I quite agree. Anyone who has sat/whatever in the dark with a loaded weapon during wartime knows what to do when threatened by a potential assailant. I hope that all officers in the chain of command--up to W, himself--point out that our boys acted just the way they were trained from guard duty during basic training all the way up to real shooting war. It's one of those unfortunate facts of 21st century life that way too few MSM "journalists" have ever served a day in uniform.
